Sporty Polo
Combine this summer’s trend for sportwear with a classic Fair Isle pattern to create our styleish polo top.
Join in with the funand games this summer when you knit this classic English polo shirt. Withthe London Olympics just around the corner, it’s no surprise that fashion has taken a sporty turn - the luxe athletic look is all over the high street at the moment. Since the polo shirt was invented in the 1920s, an era that’s influencing both fashion designers and film maker this year, we’ve decided to bring these two key trends together to bring you this contemporary Fair Isle polo top to ensure you step out in style.
We have created this gorgeous two-tone colour, and bright purple for a dramatic, eye=catching contrast. These colorus work brilliantly to highligh the delicate Fair Isle pattern, while the twisted, variegated yarn brings extra depth and detail to the plain areas. Colinette Banyan, the yarn we picked to knit this top in, comes in a wide range of beautiful shades, so you can have fun working out your favourite combinations.
The short sleeves, loose knit and soft collar mae this a must-have garment for the summer months - we think it will look great paired with jeans or capri pants and a pretty pair of ballerina pumps. Whether you’re out having lunch with friends, running the kids to school or dashing to the shops, this is a timeless look that is so easy to wear.
